 with the car's dynamics. I'd hate to see what happens if one of those
 cars has a wreck, oil and water ALL over the place, hope there's no fire
 in that case.

One is brought back in time to the Chaparals, which had movable aerofoils, 
which flattened out on straights and popped up under braking to give 
downforce.  They worked great, until they broke on one of the cars going 
somewhere in excess of 160 mph, and the car unceremoniously went straight off 
the track and nearly killed the driver.  Now, can you imagine if those pumps 
accidently went the wrong direction?

Later!
